1 Matthew Stauch Landsaver Environmental A Division of Atlantic Construction Fabrics, Inc.

2 Atlantic Construction Fabrics, Inc. Nationwide Geosynthetics and Specialty Products Manufacturer, Supplier, and Distributor Help Engineers design some of the largest and most difficult stabilization, geosynthetic reinforcement, and paving projects in the US. Teach geosynthetics products and uses to Consulting Engineers, DOT s, ACOE, States, Cities, and Counties. Conduct independent testing and partner with major universities and state DOT s for the improvement of unpaved and paved roads with the use of geosythentic products.

3 Landsaver Environmental A Division of ACF specializing in product installation along the East Coast. Helping to specify and install paving fabrics, composite paving grids, and specialty interlayers for over 30 years. Advise Engineers on the product selection, support, and use of interlayers to improve the life of paved surfaces.

4 Why are we here? To introduce the latest technology in pavement design for the extension of pavement life. To Improve pavement quality by reducing cracking, raveling, potholes, rutting, and shoving. To provide a solution for difficult paving problems on all paving projects.

5 What s unique about what you re going to see is: It s not going to change anything in the paving or manufacturing processes currently used.

7 Typical What Will Pavement ACE Fiber Do Distresses for You? ACE Fiber Adds Big Value Extends ESAL Life & Durability at Low Cost New Pavements Asphalt Overlays Loves Travel Center Sadieville, KY Orcutt Garey Rd. Santa Barbara, CA

8 ACE Typical Fiber Not Pavement the First, But Distresses First to Work Asbestos Steel Mineral Cellulose Polyester Fiberglass Polypropylene Aramid Fibers Tried in Asphalt Concrete

9 Typical What Pavement is ACE Fiber? Distresses Aramid Fiber Sasobit Wax (2.1 ounces / ton) (2.1 ounces / ton) (4.2 ounces / ton) 1-1/2 long Bundles 10,000 Fibers / Bundle 9.5M Fibers / ton of asphalt Wax Melts at 190 o F Wax Soluble in Liquid Binder No Change to Design Mix No Extra Liquid Binder

10 Typical Pavement Why Aramid? Distresses Aramid is a high performance man-made fiber: High Strength ( excellent strength-to-weight Properties) High Modulus High Dimensional Stability Excellent Heat, Cut and Chemical Resistance No Melting Point Low Flammability Non-Conductivity Aramid is suitable for challenging applications: Ballistic Protection Heat & Cut Protection Automotive Industry (Brakes, Tires & Hoses) Ropes & Cables Optical Fiber Cables Conveyor Belts

11 Typical Pavement Why Aramid? Distresses High Strength at Low Strain = 400,000 psi (5 x steel) (1,780 kn) Aramid PET & Cellulose HMA = 400 F

12 How does Aramid Reinforce Aramid Asphalt? Fiber Strength Hair-like Fibrils Roots in Binder Bonds to granules

15 ACE Fiber Cracking Field Performance End of Crack Begin Crack 1 Year After 1.5 Overlay

16 ACE Fiber Pavement Cracking Field Performance Typical Distresses November 2016 Update 13 Transverse Cracks Returned to Control Lane 1 Transverse Crack Returned to ACE Bridge Abutment Begin Crack 1 Year After 1.5 Overlay End of Crack

17 How Typical Is ACE Pavement Fiber Mixed Distresses into Asphalt?

18 ACE Fiber Typical can be Pavement mixed at Batch Distresses or Drum Plants DRUM PLANT BATCH PLANT 20 to 25 feet Feed ACE Fiber with Line-Vac Through the RAP Collar of the Mixing Drum 30 to 50 feet Feed ACE Fiber with Line-Vac Up To the Weigh Hopper or Pug Mill

19 ACE Typical Fiber Feeding Pavement is Accurate Distresses & Certified Accurately Metered & Certified Uniformly Blended & Verified

20 ACE Typical Fiber Feeding Pavement is Accurate Distresses & Certified Automated Dosing Machine We provide dosing machines, certified technicians, and certified project reports.
